Hmmm... Long term bond holders (esp banks)and interest rate (CBR) hikes will find a way to live 'happily together' in this trap Sad
$15/barrel oil... The commodities lehman moment arrives as well as Sovereign debt volcano!

Everything is damn up, i pitty those guys who rushed into the 30 year bond! They will be stuck there for as long as the interest rates keep going up!


Have a look at the details and you will realize that we cannot blame it all on oil.

A quick analysis reveals that Food & Non-Alcoholic Beverages went up by a whooping 20.12% (blame it on our poor economic policies and very kidogo on drought. Notice Unga has gone up by 15% to KES.109 in 1 month only). However, the increase in transport by 22.19% is partly caused by our poor oil importation system and the oil crisis in MENA.

Proper planning can significantly reduce the inflation otherwise we are headed to the gallows in the coming months

CBK yesterday increased the Central Bank Rate by 25bps to 6.25% and Cash Reserve Ratio by 25bps to 4.75% in a move expected to 'tame the inflation rate and stabilise the exchange rate'. The CRR increase is expected to mope circa KES 3.2Billion from circulation.
